Chapter 1232 In the end, it's still about strength(1/2)

Came to Fang Chen.

Gordon Moore looked Fang Chen up and down, and then said with a smile: "It's better to meet him than to be famous. I didn't expect that the famous Mr. Fang is so young."

After saying this, before Fang Chen could reply, Gordon Moore eagerly pulled Fang Chen to sit down.

After sitting down, Fang Chen said with a smile: "I'm just lucky and encountered some changes of the times, Mr. Moore, and you are the creator of the times."

Fang Chen's words were not just a compliment, there was some sincerity in them.

In 1971, Intel launched the world's first CPU chip, and the computer and Internet revolution brought about by the CPU chip changed the entire world.

In this world, there are not many double-faced people who are scientists and rich people, and Gordon Moore can definitely be regarded as one, and he is the best among them.

Especially the introduction of Moore's Law, which is 3 pages long, but is by far the most significant paper in the history of semiconductors, and it still affects the development of the world.

Hearing this, Gordon Moore looked around and sighed: "When it comes to achievements, let alone when I was young, even now, in fact, I may not be like you. At least I have not created such a big industry. If

In terms of the number of employees, Intel is simply a small company compared to Optimus."

"But just running Intel has consumed a lot of my energy and time, and I have no time to develop other businesses. Moreover, I know almost nothing about industries other than the semiconductor industry."

After Gordon Moore smiled self-deprecatingly, he continued: "Not to mention that I only stepped out of Fairchild and founded Intel at the age of forty, and at your age, I was still in college, studying chemistry.

, continuing my childhood dream of becoming a chemist. I never thought that I would work in semiconductors for the rest of my life, and I never even thought that I would get a doctorate in physical chemistry seven years later and start getting involved in physics."

"However, fortunately, I am still stronger than most of the people here, and my life has not been in vain."

Gordon Moore looked around and said proudly.

After hearing this, Bill Gates and Jobs still looked as normal and remained motionless, showing no intention of being hit by Gordon Moore's map cannon.

After all, they definitely do not belong to the so-called majority of people according to Gordon Moore.

If Gordon Moore and the Eight Rebel Fairies were the semiconductor industry idols of the previous generation, then they are the semiconductor industry idols of this era.

Fang Chen smiled and complimented Gordon Moore a few times, then after a moment of pondering, he said straightforwardly: "Mr. Moore, I have a business, or I need your help without mercy."

He was going to talk to Gordon Moore about the X86 instruction set licensing.

It sounds a bit unexpected. The two of them had just met and had only spoken about ten sentences to each other. Fang Chen would talk to someone about such an important matter. It was a bit incredible no matter how you thought about it.

But the way of thinking when dealing with Westerners is different from the way of dealing with Chinese people.

When Chinese people look for people to do things, most of them rely on friends or connections, and then beat around the bush, only then can they reveal their true purpose.

Westerners, on the other hand, don’t have so many twists and turns. If you have any ideas, just talk about it directly. As long as the conditions given are suitable and generous, the other party will naturally have no reason not to agree.

But if the conditions are not good and the other party feels that he is at a disadvantage, no matter how good the relationship is, even his mother and father will not be able to do it.

When it comes to interests, Westerners truly settle accounts between father and son.

Therefore, if we talk directly, the result will not be any worse than if we talk about it in a roundabout way.

"Mr. Fang, if there is anything I can do to help, I will definitely help," Gordon Moore said with a smile.

This time he agreed to come with Bill Gates and Jobs to meet Fang Chen just for the purpose of getting acquainted with Fang Chen, so he did not refuse to help Fang Chen.

Although Intel is indeed larger than Qingtian in terms of scale and influence on the world, how many years has Intel been developing?

How many years has Qingtian developed?

When Intel was founded four or five years ago, it just launched the world's first CPU chip. As for the impact that CPU chips will have on the future and the world, it can be said that we know nothing about it.

It looks like a little ant itself.

Even Intel's main business at that time was storage chips, not CPU chips. After all, storage chips had a larger user base and greater profits.

It’s just that the semiconductor companies in Dongbo were too cruel. They couldn’t beat the semiconductor companies in Dongbo, so they were forced to make CPU chips.

But Qingtian is now almost a behemoth, and this behemoth is still advancing at a high speed. According to Qingtian's current growth rate, otherwise Qingtian will surpass Intel in two or three years.

Not to mention that Qingtian also has Qingtian Petroleum. Such a giant, which is equivalent to the total oil storage capacity of the United States, will definitely be extremely terrifying and shocking once it becomes powerful.

As for Fang Chen, he has great influence in the three largest countries in the world.

Furthermore, Fang Chen is really too young, and being young means having unlimited potential to climb to higher peaks, and even eventually reach a height that is beyond their reach.

If such a person doesn't take the initiative to make friends, then he is really mentally ill.

He could even say with certainty that in this banquet hall, the number of people interested in Fang Chen was no less than the number of people interested in Bill Gates and Steve Jobs.

Of course, help is a help, but the help will certainly not be too big.

Looking at Gordon Moore, Fang Chen said lightly: "I want to obtain authorization for the Intel X86 instruction set."

After hearing this, Gordon Moore was stunned. Even Bill Gates and Steve Jobs looked at Fang Chen in surprise, as if the air was about to freeze for a moment.

They really didn't expect that the help Fang Chen said was actually to obtain the authorization of the X86 instruction set.

This is really unbelievable.

They really can't figure out what the X86 instruction set has to do with Fang Chen, and what it has to do with Qingtian?

Looking at the miscellaneous products of Qingtian, although the electronic products manufactured by Xiaobawang and the 04 machines and pagers of Qingtian Communications are all involved in the semiconductor industry, they all require CPU chips.

But that's all. No matter what happens, you won't need X86 instruction set authorization.

Unless Fang Chen wants to make his own CPU chip...

Thinking of this, Bill Gates and Jobs couldn't help but look at each other, and both could see the astonishment in each other's eyes.

Fang Chen, this bastard, really wants to make a CPU chip!

That must be the case!

If Fang Chen doesn't make CPU chips, they really can't imagine why Fang Chen wants the X86 instruction set authorization. After all, this thing is only used for making CPU chips.

After regaining his composure, Gordon Moore glanced at Fang Chen with a somewhat complicated expression, and then said, "Mr. Fang, do you want to make a CPU chip?"

Although Gordon Moore's words are interrogative, the tone actually sounds like an affirmative one.

"Yes, many of Qingtian's products require CPU chips. The cost of this every year is really too much, so I thought about it and might as well make some CPU chips myself." Fang Chen said.

After hearing this, Gordon Moore suddenly laughed. He really didn't know whether he should say that Fang Chen was a newborn calf and not afraid of tigers, or that he didn't know how high the sky was.

If you didn't know this, just by listening to the tone of Fang Chen's words, you would think that making a CPU chip is such an easy and lightweight thing that you can make it casually.

Otherwise, how could Qingtian, an electronic product manufacturing company, dare to get involved in the design and manufacturing of CPU chips?

He even heard from Fang Chen that it seemed that Qingtian would be able to make a CPU chip within two or three years.

"Mr. Fang, if you just want to make CPU chips for some electronic products, I think there is really no need to seek authorization for the X86 instruction set. Find some small CPU chip manufacturing companies to obtain their authorization, or simply

Just acquire them," Gordon Moore said seriously.

According to his understanding, the CPU chips used in electronic products are by no means high-end CPU chips. After all, these electronic products are not purchased from Intel or AMD.

If it is not a CPU chip produced by them, it is definitely not a high-end CPU chip.

Even the CPU chips on these electronic products are mostly those that were developed ten or twenty years ago and have already fallen behind.

After all, these electronic products do not need to execute any complicated instructions. 8-bit or 16-bit at most. This kind of CPU chip that was born twenty years ago is enough for them to use.

Moreover, there are many manufacturers of such old CPU chips, which are not only cheaper, but also available to more companies.

Although he didn't know exactly what kind of electronic products Qingtian produced, or what kind of chips it used, but even if he thought about it with his toes, the electronic products produced by Qingtian definitely did not require the same hardware as the United States.

The electronic products produced by Dongwa enterprises have high requirements.

Therefore, the old CPU chips of electronic products produced in the United States and Japan can meet their requirements, let alone Qingtian.

He felt that if Fang Chen wanted to produce his own CPU chips for use in these electronic products, this would be the best choice.

To put it bluntly, except for computers, computers, which require large-scale calculations, really don’t have much right now, and they need to use the X86 instruction set.

Furthermore, the issue of X86 instruction set authorization has always been a pain in his heart.

At that time, if it were not for IBM's mandatory requirements, he would not have agreed to license the X86 instruction set to AMD, for fear of creating a powerful opponent for himself.

And now, as expected, AMD, which has acquired X86, has become Intel's biggest enemy.

Relying on the Intel X86 instruction set, it occupies a large part of the personal computer CPU chip market share.

Intel even fought a seven-year lawsuit with AMD in order to get back the X86 instruction set belonging to Intel.

But even after seven years of litigation, Intel has not canceled its X86 instruction set authorization, and the lawyer has clearly told him that AMD has a great chance of winning so far in this lawsuit.

And if things go wrong, Intel will have to compensate AMD a large sum of money for unfair competition.

Intel wanted to get its own stuff back, but it refused to get it back and even had to pay the other party a large sum of money.

When he thought of this, he felt an indescribable and heartbreaking pain.

In this case, it is impossible for him to sublicense the X86 instruction set to other companies. Is he going to cultivate another competitor for Intel?

Even though he doesn't think that Qingtian will achieve much success in CPU chips and how much of a threat it can pose to Intel!

In short, it’s just one word “No!”

According to Intel's usual practice, even if it is authorized, the most it can do is break down the X86 instruction set and turn it into specific patents.

Then these patents are licensed piecemeal to some companies that manufacture Intel CPU chips to ensure that absolutely no third company can obtain the complete authorization of the X86 instruction set.

Although he knew that Gordon Moore would never authorize the X86 instruction set to him so easily, Fang Chen couldn't help but his face darkened after listening to Gordon Moore's words.
To be continued...
